A lot of the novels are shit. There's no really polite way to put it. The less said about some of the New Republic and New Jedi Order novels the better.

another odd thing about the prophecy-the Jedi believed the Sith to be extinct, so why is there a prophecy that seems to involve destroying the Sith?
Maybe the prophecy isn't so much about the Sith specifically as it is about evil/the Dark Side in-general. The practicioners of the Dark Side don't necessarily have to be Sith Lords. Just my two cents' worth.
I don't recall any dialogue suggesting the Jedi thought the to be extinct. Mace Windu had his doubts but once Maul was exposed Mace changed his mind.
It's silly to think everyone would only choose the light side going forward...
[QUOTE="Darth Plagueis" by James Luceno]He knew from his travels with and without Tenebrous that he wasn’t the galaxy’s sole practitioner of the dark side — nor Sith for that matter, since the galaxy was rife with pretenders — but he was now the only Sith Lord descended from the Bane line.[/QUOTE]
Works for me.
Ki-Adi Mundi said it.
Agreed.
KI-ADI: "Impossible! The Sith have been extinct for a millennium!"
MACE: "I do not think the Sith could have returned without us knowing."
YODA: "Ahhhh...hard to see, the Dark Side is."
Yeah, only Sidious and Tyranus(Dooku) are Sith Lords. Ventress isn't one, nor is Savage Opress even though both use red-bladed Sith-like lightsabers. And Grievous is a former Kaleesh warlord who almost died in a shuttle crash and was revived with cybernetic technology(think an earlier, cruder version of Darth Vader). The Sith still operate as a order of two, but recruit Force-sensitive or combat-skilled allies to assist them in their plans.
I thought that was why it was there to begin with? All the people wielding the Force were hard to control...
Perhaps I should finish reading the book before commenting again...
Ultimately being a Sith Lord is having a title. More about authority than powers and abilities.
I can think of a number of real world examples. In the US government there are many politicians at different levels. But only one President. Same for military ranks.

Anyways, the Sith get their name from a species of humanoids they conquered millennia ago after they were exiled from the Jedi Order and cast out into the depths of space. The name Sith has no great meaning other than referring to the two greatest masters of the Dark Side in the galaxy and that's about it. Think of it as a Jedi Order for pissed-off bad guys and that's about it in a nutshell...not much more complicated than that.
There are plenty of other beings in the SW universe who use the Dark Side for their own purposes, but Sidious and his ilk are the strongest and most skilled with it. As the Expanded Universe novels and comics set after ROTJ show(although I think a lot if not most of them completely suck), bad guys and evil still remain in the galaxy even after the Sith and the Empire are vanquished. Hell, there's even a clone of Emperor Palpatine and future Sith Lords of a revived, reborn order in some of these ludicrous stories.

Looks like TPM will also be rereleased in 3D in Japan! Free lightsaber chopsticks with ticket purchase?!

That's a balance of Jedi and Sith, not the balance of the Force. Jedi and Sith are not the Force, thus the balance of the Force is not a balance of Jedi and Sith.
I think Palpatine had just one formal/official apprentice at a time(Maul, Tyranus, Vader) but wasn't opposed to employing beings and persons who were exceptionally powerful with the Force to help achieve Imperial/Sith ends. That would certainly explain Asajj Ventress, bounty hunter Durge and Savage Opress during the Clone Wars and later Mara Jade and others in the Imperial era.
So, are you C-3PONY now?
